blitz r33

yeah i have full comprehensive insurance which cost a s*** load but it looks like it was worth paying after something like this has happened. the other guy is totally screwed as he had no insurance not even third party,the car wasn't even registered.

today i decided to drive to the video shop but on the way some wanker commodore driver in his vy ss came around a corner in an attempted drift and lost control and slammed front on into my r33. i will post pics up later but my whole front end has been destroyed,even the engine is a wreck.....just want your opinion on what i should do? so stressed as it was my daily driver.

anyone????

hey peoples,selling my skyline as its not the ideal family car and want to get something a little more practical. the car was pretty much stock when i bought it except for the 3" blitz exhaust system and 400R nismo 17" rims the previous owner bought for it,the only things ive done to it is a nismo 400R front bumper and side skirts,car alarm and immobilizer,boost gauge along with a oil pressure gauge. the car has 83,xxx kms on it and 12 months rego along with a recent full service eg fluids,spark plugs,timing belt,water pump etc. the car has 2 slight dents above the passenger window which can be seen in the pics but other than that theres no other problems. i do have a turbosmart bov,hks mushroom filter and boost controller for it if you want them as i will have no need for them,the filter and bov have been used only once but took them off as i didnt want no hassles from the cops and the boost controller has never been used. sound system comes with the car....... selling it for $8,000 ono. any questions feel free to ask.also the letters you see in one of the pics of the rear end have been removed.

c'mon what variables?p-plater,wet conditions and no doubt speed.

well i dont feel sorry for him,he's an idiot for driving on a wet road with bald tires...what did he think would have happened?an accident that was waiting to happen and you deserve to pay for it.

thats the problem,no one in my area knows what they are doing. you mention an aac valve and they just stand there with a confused look on their face plus the fact no one wants to find the problem yet alone touch the car cause its an import. the other day me and a mate checked the aac valve out,when my car was revving at 2500rpm i put the idle screw in to get it to 1000rpm but he turned it all the way back out to where it was originally and it only revs at 1100rpm which is alot better than 2500,still dont know why it use to rev so high but now it only revs to there.

id rather know if the seal people mention is a carbon seal or some form of other seal?if its a carbon seal wouldnt it build back up and fix itself?

been thinking.....if it was a carbon seal around the butterfly valve and removing the carbon build up caused my car to over rev than wouldnt the car have been over revving straight from the factory as it wouldnt have any carbon build up as it was new? just a thought. this is what i dont understand,are yous saying its a carbon seal or some sort of rubber or plastic seal?cause there was no seal around the valve only carbon build up,if yous were meaning carbon build up forming a seal than it doesnt make sense????

dont feel silly at all,thanks i will try that and let ya know if you were right.but getting a throttle body that hasnt been cleaned is gonna be hard to get. also ive had this problem for well over a year now,wouldnt the carbon have built back up enough by then to reseal it?was it a carbon seal or is there an actual sealant i have cleaned off? its just that people have said its a carbon seal that builds up after years of use while others say there is a sealant made from something i cant remember.

yeah but they dont tell me how to do a reset and it wasnt like i was cleaning a little bit of carbon out of it,there was a shitload of it and thick.....the thing was putrid. i wouldnt have bothered cleaning it if it was just a small layer of the shit.

well does anyone know how to do a TPS switch reset?this idle problem is seriously pissing me off.

ok how do you reset the tps switch,yeah i think its an air leak as well but ive checked everywhere for it and the car is stock so no after market intercooler or anything like that where most people get an air leak so it narrows it down to the plenum. i only took the plenum,throttle body and the aac valve off for a clean and i put them on tight and even put gasket sealant on the plenum after it was idling high and still no change so if it is an air leak i have no idea how its leaking. i just hope it is the tps and it just needs a reset,can you tell me how do i do it please?

hey guys my car has high idle ever since i took the plenum off plus the throttle body to clean the carbon build up on it.put it back on now it revs high,even put gasket sealant around the plenum thinking it was that and still nothing so im out of ideas whats causing it. if i put it on a dyno is it possible for them to find the source?id ring them but they are on holidays.

in my small town there is like 4-5 of them getting around,all resprayed the midnight purple look. i was thinking of doing it but whats the point when nearly every skyline here is midnight purple.
